Zinnias 
Lief green’s Giant Dahlia 
Flowered 
The Zinnia is possibly more at home in the warmer sections of 
Arizona than any other flower. It is sun-loving-, very easy to grow 
and a favorite in thousands of Arizona gardens. We'wish to stress 
the fact that our Zinnias, are absolutely the best strains in existence. 
The Zinnia is strictly a hot weather plant and should not be planted 
until March, Plantings may be continued throughout the Summer. 
CULTURE—Plant after all danger of frost is over. The seed 
should be planted about one-half inch deep and the seed bed covered 
with a mulch of light barnyard fertilizer or grass to conserve the 
top moisture. Plant in rich soil in rows at least three feet apart 
and thin out plants so they are about 12 inches apart. Never plant 
Zinnias in the shade, as they delight in the full sunshine. Keep the 
rows free and clean from Bermuda Grass and weeds and cultivate 
and irrigate often. To avoid mildew, dust the ground around the 
plants with ground sulphur as soon as the buds appear. If you 
follow these instructions we know your efforts will be rewarded.

Liefgreen’s Giant 
Dahlia Flowered 
Zinnia. 
The DAHLIA FLOWERED ZINNIA is the most popular of 
all the Zinnia types grown. The large size, beautiful petals, ex¬ 
traordinary colors and good keeping qualities have made them 
popular with all who grow them. They resemble a Dahlia in 
appearance and when in full bloom often measure five and 
six inches in diameter. The variations in the colors are won¬ 
derful and we cannot recommend them too highly. We list 
them in the following colors. 
EXQUISITE —One of the most pleasing shades. Color a light 
Rose, with deeper Rose center. 
ILLUMINATION —A deep soft rose. Very beautiful. 
CRIMSON MONARCH —By far the largest and best of the red 
shades. Flowers often eight inches in diameter. Plants very 
vigorous. 
ORIOLE —We consider this the most beautiful of its class. It 
is an immense Orange and gold bicolor, changing slightly as 
it ages. 
CANARY BIRD —Delicate primrose—very large and holds its 
color well. 
DREAM —A fine, deep Lavender, turning to Purple (Mallow 
Purple), a new, desirable shade in Zinnias. 
POLAR BEAR —Very large pure White, best White in Zinnias. 
True Dahlia form.

Liefgreen’s Lilliput Pompon 
If you have room for two rows of Zinnias, sow the seeds 
of the Dahlia-Flowered or California Mammoth in the back¬ 
ground, and Lilliput Pompon in the front row. This makes 
a charming combination and will give a greater variety of 
flowers for cutting purposes.

Giant Mammoth Zinnias 
In presenting the above type we offer a rare collection of 
striking and desirable colors, enormous flowers. They have

ance. Plant the full collection of the following colors:

ing in color. The Canary Yellow petals are tinged with Cerise 
on the lower side, the two shapes blending into a variety of 
lemon tints as the flower develops. It is unique in having a 
pleasant odor.

bright in tone. Giant flowers of graceful appearance.
